US Passports Are Getting a Third Gender Option; State Department says applicants can now self-select gender

https://www.newser.com/story/308054/...ss_world_login

Under changes announced by the State Department on Wednesday, American passports will still list a person's gender—but it will be up to the individual whether it says M or F, and a third option is on the way. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said in a release that the government "will no longer require medical certification if an applicant’s self-selected gender does not match the gender on their other citizenship or identity documents." Blinken said the department is moving toward adding a "gender marker for non-binary, intersex, and gender non-conforming persons," but no date has been set for the change, NBC reports.

Blinken said adding the third option, expected to be an X, "is technologically complex and will take time for extensive updates." Other countries, including Canada and Germany, have already added a third option and Blinken said the US has consulted "like-minded governments." Colorado resident Dana Zzyym, who is intersex and nonbinary, is among those who have long pushed for the change. "It's great news for all intersex and non-binary people, because it basically says that we can get our passports," Zzyym tells NPR. "We don't have to lie to get our passports. We can just be ourselves."

You should get a hobby, Mike. Unless this is your hobby, in which case I invite you to carry on. Same with that other guy, and the other one too.

As for me, I like to cook and eat and ride my bike and try to play guitar and make tiny little plans for world domination. YMMV.

This will make it easier to apply for a passport.

I have no idea what "intersex non-binary" means and have NO desire to Google it.

What you are and what you want to be aren't the same thing for some people. I'm sure they believe in science though.

I think I'm going to start marking gender neutral just to fk with every entity asking for such ridiculousness.

[mrvette]

Check MALE, and fill in the word HORNEY......

“Like-minded government’s” meaning other countries run by moonbatchitcrazy leftists with serious mental issues wishing to foist their psychoses upon their citizens, so all can enjoy together the demented raving and drooling thought processes of the typical liberal.

I say if they want to be gender neutral then castrate them with a broken beer bottle and make it so.

If people can chose their gender Why can't some chose their species?

From now on I want to be a Labrador retriever.My Preferred pronoun is "Good Boy" When I stick my nose up a women's crotch or butt it's because I am trying to say hello. When I hump their leg It's because I like them. And when I take a dump in their years they have to clean up after me.

Decades ago when going through immigration in China I filed out the section where they asked "Sex" with the word Yes several times. I got caught and asked to change it after doing it for a few years.

See? I don’t have this problem because I’m pretty sure of my sex and sexual orientation. No impact. YMMV




p.s. how does one pronounce “Zzyym”?

Are we to start using the term "Znowflakes" from now on?

I just want you to know I harbor no animosity towards the rodent-American community, although a few months ago I had to dispatch a mouse that Fuzzball dragged home, to put it out of its misery.

You have nothing to apologize to me for Mark. I laugh at some of the foolishness going on right now, but don't lose any sleep over it.

Same. It is what it is as people like to say.

[Hardluck]

The insanity of the left never ceases to amaze me! If you have mental issues about your sex[gender] that is an unfortunate medical condition and I hope they get help for it! But DON'T try and push that crap on me and tell me I'm the one with the problem cause I don't accept your psychosis!!!!
